Kōnia
Laura Kanaholo Kōnia (c. 1808–1857) was a high chiefess of the Hawaiian Kingdom, Kingdom of Hawaii. She was the mother of Bernice Pauahi Bishop, the founder of Kamehameha Schools. Life She was the youngest daughter of Pauli Kaōleiokū, Pauli Kaōleiokū by his second wife, High Chiefess Luahine Kahailiopua. Luahine was descended from Keaweʻīkekahialiʻiokamoku, Keaweikekahialiiokamoku through her mother Kailipakalua. She married High Chief Pākī, Abner Kuhooheiheipahu Pākī at Honolulu, Oahu, Oahu.

Konia (fish)
''Konia'' is a small genus of critically endangered cichlids endemic to Lake Barombi Mbo in western Cameroon. Although generally recognized as distinct, the genus is very close to ''Sarotherodon''.Martin; Cutler; Friel; Touokong; Coop; and Wainwright (2015). Complex histories of repeated gene flow in Cameroon crater lake cichlids cast doubt on one of the clearest examples of sympatric speciation. Evolution 69-6: 1406–1422. The ''Konia'' species are threatened because of pollution and sedimentation due to human activities. They are potentially also threatened by large emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the lake's bottom (compare Lake Nyos), although studies indicate that Barombo Mbo lacks excess amounts of this gas. ''Myaka'', ''Pungu'' and ''Stomatepia'' are three other equally threatened genera of cichlids that also are endemic to Lake Barombi Mbo. Species There are currently two recognized species in this genus: * ''Konia dikume'' Trewavas, 1972 (Dikume) * ''Konia eisen ...

Dikume
The dikume (''Konia dikume'') is a critically endangered species of fish in the family Cichlidae. It is endemic to Lake Barombi Mbo in western Cameroon. Description The dikume is a silvery coloured fish with faint vertical barring. It grow to a maximum length of 11.2 cm. The most distinguishing feature of this species is that when freshly caught the capillaries swell with blood, particularly at the base of the fins, and oozes out to stain the fishes otherwise silvery skin. Distribution and habitat It is endemic to Lake Barombi Mbo, a volcanic crater lake with a diameter of just 3 miles in western Cameroon where only the top 40 metres contains enough dissolved oxygen to sustain vertebrate life. Habits The dikume is an invertebrate feeder which specialises in feeding on the larvae of the mosquito ''Chaoborus spp''. To reach this food source the dikumbe must spend time in water that is so deep that it is deoxygenated, the high levels of hemoglobin in its blood are an adapta ...

Konye
The konye (''Konia eisentrauti'') is a critically endangered species of fish in the family Cichlidae. It is endemic to Lake Barombi Mbo, a crater lake in western Cameroon. It is threatened because of pollution and sedimentation due to human activities, and potentially also by large emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the lake's bottom (compare Lake Nyos). This species can reach a length of TL. Description The konye is a small species of cichlid growing to a length of about . It is somewhat laterally compressed and has a horizontal mouth and sloping forehead. The fins are colourless. the dorsal fin has 15 to 16 spines and 10 to 11 soft rays; the anal fin has 3 spines and 8 to 9 soft rays. The colouring of this fish is distinctive, with a pale background shade and a row of dark blotches running down the back, and another row along each flank. The head is mostly bare of scales, the cheeks have a few scales and the body is fully scaled. Ecology The konye is a benthopelagic ...
